Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 30:34-38

The Incense (Exodus 30:34-38 ). a The constituents of the incense to be taken (Exodus 30:34). b They are to be made into incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer. c Seasoned with salt, pure and holy (Exodus 30:35). d It is to be beaten very small and put before the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting (Exodus 30:36 a). d There Yahweh will meet with Moses (Exodus 30:36 b) c It shall be to them most holy (Exodus 30:36 c). b They shall not make the same composition of incense for... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 30:1-38

Exodus 30-31. P s . Priestly Supplements.— These two chapters form an appendix to Exodus 25-29. The golden incense altar finds no place in Exodus 25 or Exodus 26:33-Zephaniah : or Leviticus 16 (where the annual rite of Exodus 30:10 is ignored). Instead we hear of censers in Leviticus 16:12 and Numbers 16:6 f., while the great altar in the court is called “ the altar,” as if no other were recognised. Similarly Exodus 30:30, requiring the unction of Aaron’ s sons, betrays itself as later than... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 30:34

Stacte, and onycha, and galbanum: the Jews themselves are not agreed what these were, and it concerns not Christians much to know, the use of them being abolished. It is evident they were each of them sweet spices, and therefore this galbanum was not of the common kind, which gives a very ball scent. Of each shall there be a like weight, Heb. alone shall be with alone, i.e. each of these alone shall be with another alone, to wit, in equal quantity. Or it may note, that’ each of these was to be... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 30:35

Tempered together, Heb. salted; either, 1. Properly, for salt was to be offered with all offerings, Leviticus 2:13. And the Hebrew doctors tell us that six egg-shells full of salt were used. Or, 2. Metaphorically, well mixed together, as salt was with things either offered to God, or eaten by man. Pure, of the best of each kind of drugs, the most perfect and uncorrupted. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 30:34-38

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Exodus 30:34-38SPIRITUAL WORSHIPNotice here—I. The elements of true worship. 1. There must be nothing in prayer but what is sweet. “Sweet spices.” No anger. Some nations leave their swords outside their temples; we must cherish no angry or warlike sentiments in worship. “Lifting up holy hands, without wrath.” No pride. No, “I thank God I am not as other men.” No selfishness. “Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that you may consume it upon your... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Exodus 30:34

frankincense Frankincense is not to be confounded with incense (to which it was to be added), as it is often used apart from incense. We are told what composed the incense--never in Scripture what the frankincense was. All speaks of Christ--the sweet spices of those perfections which we may apprehend, the frankincense of that which God saw in Jesus ineffable. read more

C.I. Scofield

Scofield's Reference Notes - Exodus 30:38

smell What is condemned here is making worship a mere pleasure to the natural man, whether sensuous, as in beautiful music to please the ear, or eloquence, merely to give delight to the natural mind. (Cf) John 4:23; John 4:24. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 30:1-38

And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of acacia wood shalt thou make it. It's to be eighteen by eighteen, and forty-five inches high ( Exodus 30:1 ).This is a little altar that was set in the holy place, before the veil that separated the holy place from the Holy of Holies.Overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides round about, and the horns thereof; [So it's a little altar only of gold, and it's to burn incense, a sweet smelling savour again before God.] And the... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 30:1-38

Exodus 30:6. Before the veil. This altar, formed like the ark, of the incorruptible wood covered over with pure gold, represented the Son of God in human nature; and the incense typified his intercession. The former was placed within the sanctuary, the latter in the court without; for his sacrifice was offered on earth, his intercession is in heaven. But it was not fixed within the most holy place; because the continual intercession of Christ was to be represented by the daily burning of... read more
